Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Thank you so much Guru Dev.

    This letter is answer to your previous letter.

    we are fine....doing good at work place. we work 9 hours at office.
    breaking 9 hours = 7 hours pure office work + 1 hours discussion on NOI with Senior
   devotees + 1 hour discussion on BG with a devotee (very senior manager in IBM), He
   even asks me for a walk to discuss on spiritual topic. Office is very far from room/home,
   it takes 3 hours time, for go to office and come back room.

    we don't take break for lunch or snakes [snacks]. we put complete 'tilak' in office, complete head
    shave....can not live without 'tilak'..ha..ha.
    
    At office, Whenever we get time, we discuss on spiritual topic and BG with colleague
   and all.

    For last few months, we are continuously thinking that time is going very fast and we
    are just loosing the spiritual growth. we are just doing Kindergarten (16 rounds + 4
    regulative principles + hearing + reading + associating). We are not satisfied with these
    only. So what to do? Actually, what else. we are looking for, we ask to my self? We just
    want to have a test [taste] of deep spiritual subtleness so, what to do for more.

    So we started searching in your lecture, writ. what you say about spiritual progress,
    growth, plan and execution plan and started investing
    more time on study.

    Guru Dev, Currently reading below books:
     1. BG
    2. Padma-Puran
    3. Prabhupada's Articls
   
   www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt, Guru-tattva always aspire me to do as per your
   instructions. Feel...instruction from you. It shows, where i am?  Guru-tattva is check list
   for my sadana.

  Guru Dev, you will be in India on Feb 2014, correct? And as per your letter, you will take
  flight immediately for Kolkata, once you land in New Delhi, correct?  you will be in
  Kolkata with Dr. Bandopadhaya, from 9 Feb - 15 Feb 2014 and then you will go to
  Mayapur for ILS meetings.
HpS - ASA - Jaya! Get local Siksa gurus!!!   We have not yet bought Delhi to Kolkata ticket, 9 Feb. If someone wants us to spend one day in Delhi then we could do that, but if we don't get any news like that we will buy Delhi to CCU soon. Any suggestions?
  After that on 23rd, you will go to Lucknow and Vraja and will back to USA the 1st of
  November.....We are happy, you are staying very long time in India.
